Page 4 Ducks and Beavers Hold Down Second Place in Title Race Vandals Break Into Win Column at the Expense of W. S. C.; Huskies Retain Top Position By BILL EBERHART Games on two far-flung fronts of northern division ba.sketbal) territory last weekend left the team rankings virtually unchanged. Oregon State, by her victory over Oregon Friday night, pulled up a notch and gained a tie for second place with the Webfoots in the league race. The University of Idaho, still the tail-ender of the conference, won its first game of the season over a conference opponent Saturday night at Moscow, when the W. S. C. Cougars were soundly trounced, 34 to 28. Vandals Get Victory Led by Howard Grenier, two year veteran center, and Harold Klumb, playing his first year as a varsity forward, the lowly Van dals stepped out with the starting whistle to run up a lead that was threatened only once near the end of the game. The score at half time was 22 to 14 for Idaho. Washington State’s high scorer for the season, Captain Kenneth Wills, was held to a single point by Wally Geraghty, Vandal guard. On the western front at Corval lis the night before, Oregon State avenged her earlier defeat at the hands of Oregon by cjuietly smack ing the Webfoots, 16 to 9. Washington Takes Kent In Seattle, meanwhile, the Washington Huskies were content to rest on their laurels over the weekend. After knocking over two conference opponents a half dozen times in a row, Coach Hec Edmundson’s boys are receiving a 10-day layoff as a gift from the schedule makers. Their last game was with Washington State in Pullman a week ago tonight, and they will engage in light work outs until this Friday when they entertain the Webfoots in the first of a two-game series, the second to be played the following night. Oregon’s invasion of the Wash ington metropolis this week will represent, the first attempt of an Oregon team to dent the perfect record of the Huskies. Messrs. Lee, Galer, Weber, et. al., have performed admirably against the teams in the eastern wing of the conference, but it remains to be Sport Chats from HERE and THERE By DAN E. CLARK Jr. -Did You Know Thill: At Hanover, N. H., last Satur day Dartmouth came out on the long end of the mammoth count, 3 to 1 over the bodies of the high scoring Yale basketball team? And we thought the recent Ore gon-Oregon State score sounded like a football count! When these eastern boys do something, they do it in a big way. * * * Although no Northwest basket ball team has won the conference flag with more than four defeats, that it would be possible for a team to win the gonfalon with seven defeats and nine wins ? * * * Irvin (Ace) Bailey, hockey star, who was very seriously hurt in a collision with another player in an eastern professional game some time ago finally pulled out of it and is back on the road to health? What a relief to the poor fellow who ran into him. Bobby Jones is coming back into active competition against the best golfers in the country next spring on his home course at At lanta, Georgia ? * * * In 1903: There were only two golf clubs near Paris? . . . the French played golf because they thought it elegant and a trifle wicket, “c'est le flirt," they used to say of the game ... it was a new type of "le flirt" they said and a good place to talk nonsense with a woman . . . instead of ask ing your girl to go out and park with you, you asked her to indulge in a game of golf with you. If you got your face slapped, it was all off . . . "les enfants de moins de 18 ans,” (children of less than eighteen years) were not admitted to the club without a written note from their parents . . . the players wore red coats like our modern hunter ... we wonder if the mor tality rate was as high! fr Northern Division Standings W.

Season Half Over With only 26 games played out of the total of 80 tilts on the con ference schedule, the season is less than one-third gone, yet it seems to be a foregone conclusion that Washington has the flag in the bag. As a matter of fact, how ever, the two second-place teams in this state have an excellent chance of blackening beyond rec ognition the spotless record of the Huskies. The only comparison that can now be made between Oregon and Washington is their comparative showings against the Cougars. And this comparison is not un favorable to Oregon. The Web foots divided their two games with the Pullman team, but looked very good in both tilts, building up a substantial lead in both first halves, and holding it in the first game despite a determined Cou gar rally in the second period. Only the phenomenal shooting of Huntly McPhee in the second game prevented Oregon from making a clean sweep of the se ries. * Huskies Hold Edge What did Washington do to Mr. Frid's gang? Won the first game 35 to 30 and the second 30 to 28 in an overtime period. This gives Washington a slight edge over Oregon, but not much. The Web foots’ first appearanoe on the Se attle floor last year resulted in a stunning dope reversal and an Oregon victory, 41 to 26. This, in the midst of the most dismal hoop season seen on this campus in a decade, shows what can be done to the Huskies. The same case can be made for Oregon State, with reference to this year’s showing. The fact that the Beavers still hold the cham pionship of the division should rate them above the league-lead ers.

With all of their men graduate students, the independents were too much for the Theta Chi boys and Caldwell and Chatterton won their singles games without much trouble from Woodward and Rog ers. The doubles match was a lit tle closer with Brown and Hell berg forcing Schneider -and Coad to extend themselves to gain their 21-13, 20-22, 21-15 victory.

Just Set-up for This Lad Bob Houston, lanky Washington State basketball center, tips in an easy one. The young giant, playing his first varsity year, is.' 6 feet 71/2 inches tall and weighs 215 pounds. He is a varsity letterman in football and baseball also. Don Lynch, Cougar student manager, looks on. Repairs on Books Made Under CWA Books in the law library are be ing thoroughly soaped, cleaned, and repaired, under the direction of Bill Whitely, and through the medium of the CWA. These books, some of which are very old and valuable and have been badly in need of repair, are all being gone over by two men, hired by the CWA, E. W. Reed and Benjamin Palmer. This work is of great benefit in preserving and caring for the law books, as well as giving jobs to the men, who work from 8 to 3 o’clock five days a week. The cleaning was begun Decem ber 16 and will probably continue for another month. Stenogs Fall Before Frosh Team, 47-16 Williamson and Murray Lead Scoring Yearlings and Campus Preppers Clash Tonight; Hook Tilt Set for Friday Merrily continuing with their winning ways, the green Duck lings last Saturday handed the Commerce high hoopers of Port land a 47-16 shellacking at the Ig loo. The frosh, who had a big advan tage in height and speed took an early lead, and led at the end of the first period 22-6. Williamson, yearling forward, led the scoring with 12 markers, followed by Murray with eight. Vanelli, Com merce forward, chalked up seven points. Tonight the Ducklings engage University high in a return game at the igloo. The so-called Golden Tide, after( their defeat at the hands of the frosh, have started another string of victories, and hope to snap the freshman win ning streak, which has now reach ed five straight. Tonight’s game will be the last for the yearlings before the rook game Friday night, which will be held in the igloo. The rooks have played four games, winning two and losing two. They split with Albany college, defeated Corvallis high, and lost an overtime tilt to Salem high. While the frosh have played and wan more games, the opposition of the Corvallis boys seems to rate slightly higher. The chief scoring threat of the rooks is Hub Tuttle, forward from Hoquiam, Washing ton. Although Eberhart and Shields have not set any lineups for to night, the following will probably start; Frosh University High Lewis.F. Igoe Williamson.F. Tingle Murray.C. Stafford Faust.G. Gaedon Liebowitz.G.Mann Sherry Ross9 Fijis Advance In Donut Volleyball Tourney SPE’s and Theta Chi Are 4B’ Winners TODAY'S “A” VOLLEYBALL GAMES 4 ;00 — Beta Theta Pi vs. Omega Hall; Sigma Nu vs. Delta Epsilon. 4:40—chi Psi vs. Phi Sigma Kappa; Sigma Hall vs. Sigma Phi Epsilon. 5:20—Delta Tau Delta vs. Pi Kappa Alpha; Phi Delta Theta vs. Zeta Hall. Although they did not gain their objective of the first shut out game of the season, Sherry Ross hall last night easily defeat ed a disorganized Sigma Alpha Mu six in their “A” league donut volleyball contest. Flick led the killing for the victors while his teammates showed fair team work in setting the ball up. In the only other “A” league game, Phi Gamma Delta and Sigma Alpha Epsilon played a long, drawn-out affair with little teamwork evident on either side. The Fijis, after losing the second match, finally gained a victory in the final frame against the five remaining S. A. E.’s. The tall Luhrs was the most effective with his kills. Despite a Zeta hall lineup of Butch Morse and several frosh football stars, Sigma Phi Epsilon won their “B” league game 15-6, 15-4. Guthrie was easily the out standing man on the S. P. E. team with his good passing and work at the net. Theta Chi were the other vic tors on the evening schedule as they defeated Kappa Sigma 15-10, 15-9. A long scoring rally with Jones serving was a feature of the second game. La Casa Filipina and Alpha Tau Omega were awarded "A” league victories when Phi Kappa Psi and Alpha Hall were not present at the scheduled time. According to the rules of intra mural competition in regard to teams entered and games for feited, Paul E. Washke, director of the donut sports program, wishes to make it clear that if any organization has both an A and “B” league entry in the tour nament, and the “A” league entry forfeits two or more of its games the “B” league team's games are also forfeited. In other words, if an organization has only one en try in a tournament it must be an “A” league entry. Teams who have forfeited any “A” league games and have “B” league en trants are asked to take note yf this. Y.W.C.A.
